Brake pads Bendix or OEM Nissan
Reviews
Bendix Ceramic. $20. OG rotors at 140k, they've been turned once and are within spec. Next time I'll grab the DD Centric rotor/pad combo off RockAuto for $55.
Pros: long lasting rotors
Mileage: 140000 km
I'm still using the factory rotors as they calipered just fine within spec at 132k. I just put on some standard Bendix ceramic for under $20. Didn't even turn my rotors because they were smooth as glass as I live in the south. Made sure to service the slide pins of course. As far as durability, you just can't beat the factory rotors so if they are still within spec, I see no reason to replace.
Basically they feel factory new with a nice progressive pedal dynamic.
Pros: long lasting, smooth
Mileage: 132000 km
Brake inspection during the tire rotation, replace as needed (haven't needed to yet thanks to regenerative braking - I'm at 62k and I think I have OEM brakes).
Pros: regenerative braking
Vehicle:
Nissan
Mileage: 100000 km
I got Bendix rotors and Bendix ceramic pads from rock auto reasonably priced. Works very well
Pros: works very well

Pros: good brakes

I did Bendix on my ‘21 GT and same on my ‘22 GT1. RockAuto is where I got them. Really can’t tell a difference between OE and Bendix. And no more shudder.
Pros: no more shudder
Cons: no difference from OE
Vehicle:
Kia
Bendix maingay talaga, mawawala iyan after two thousand kilometers, one thousand lessen na
Cons: noisy initially
Mileage: 2000 km
During braking po maingay like sumisipol pero minsan naman hindi lalo na kapag maulan pero depende padin. Had my breaks cleaned, from pads to cleaning talaga like baklas. Ang gamit ko po is bendix na brake pads, makapal pa po pads.
Cons: squeaking noise during braking
Vehicle:
Suzuki Celerio
Had to get all brake pads done 22k miles in. Brake still makes a sound when released could be bushings but not a major enough issue yet to replace.
Cons: brake pads replaced early, brake noise
Vehicle:
Nissan Pathfinder
Mileage: 22000 km
Driving a Saga MT 2024. Switched from the stock brakepads to Bendix Metal King's. Drove up and down Genting roads quite often, but damn, the braking grips are not what was advertised, and made worse during rainy days. Luckily I drove a manual transmission saga, so I could balanced out braking hard with employing low gear, to cater to a proper sudden stop, especially going downhill, with all the speed bumps up there. And the brake dust? Lord! It's like I painted my wheels with paint, each time I got home.
Cons: poor grip, excessive dust
